Product description

What’s it like to be a super-nerd – and a supermodel? It’s one of many things Harriet Manners knows. Like that the average person eats a ton of food a year. Or the exact length of a nanosecond. But she doesn’t know how to get people to like her. Now Harriet heads off to Japan for a summer on the catwalk. But even the craziest city in the world is still too close to home. Gorgeous Nick is everywhere. And the feeling of a broken heart is something know-it-all Harriet also knows. Laugh-aloud funny and as charmingly odd as a polar bear in a rainforest. A real ex-model’s sassy and addictive take on the catwalk life. We adore it.

Praise for Geek Girl:

“A smart, sassy and very funny debut.” The Bookseller

Author/Illustrator

Holly Smale

Holly Smale is the author of the bestselling Geek Girl books. She was unexpectedly spotted by a top London modelling agency at the age of fifteen and spent the following two years falling over on catwalks, going bright red and breaking things she couldn’t afford to replace. By the time Holly had graduated from Bristol University with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Shakespeare she had given up modelling and set herself on the path to becoming a writer.

Geek Girl was the no. 1 bestselling young adult fiction title in the UK in 2013. It was shortlisted for several major awards including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Branford Boase award, nominated for the Queen of Teen award and won the teen and young adult category of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the 11-14 category of the Leeds Book Award.

Laughing from the first page

When I found out that Holly was writing a Geek Girl sequel, excitement was an understatement. I really loved Geek Girl and was eager to see what else she could do. When I got it I did however have a slight moment of worrying that it wouldn't live up to its high expectations- i've read many a sequel which are completely unnecessary. Thankfully I wasn't disappointed even slightly. From the first page I was laughing at Harriets witty comments, getting annoyed at Nicks "tendencies" and feeling sorry for Toby. Next thing I knew, I was reading the acknowledgements. What can I say? Model Misfit is well worthy of five stars - bring on Geek Girl 3!
